Ajay, who roped in Abigail after auditioning 200 child actors from Canada, UK, USA, Germany, Poland and India, has gone on record to say that her performance in Shivaay is not only better than his own, but also that of most artistes he has worked with till date.

Ajay tweeted: “Confession time! @abigail_eames gave me a run for my money as a performer in @ShivaayTheFilm Watch our song #Raatein”

The song has since been shared by actress Kajol, and one of the film’s leading actress Erika Kaar who called it ‘truly magical’.
